First Hornby/Folds Song to be Played Live

13/July/2009 - 21:17

Ben treated us well in Chicago on Saturday. They debuted one of the new songs that they've been working on for the forthcoming Hornby Record (as we've been calling it at least). It's called "Picture Window" and of course Ben forgot some of the lyrics in there somewhere, haha. Overall it sounded way good, Ben's vocals were a little quiet so I couldn't make out all of it, but the chorus seems to be "You know what hope is?/hope is a bastard/hope is a liar, a cheat and tease/hope comes near you, kick it's backside/got no place in days like these"
